Iran plans to unveil new missiles and a submarine in the near future.
Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi announced on may 29 that the ministry will unveil a series of new missiles and a submarine manufactured by the country's experts and engineers in the near future, Fars news agency reported.
He also said that the country will also inaugurate a space center soon.
The Iranian Army has recently test-fired different types of newly-developed missiles and torpedoes and tested a large number of its home-made weapons, tools and equipments, including submarines, military ships, artillery, choppers, aircraft, UAVs and air defense and electronic systems, during massive military drills.
Last week, Vahidi announced that the defense ministry will supply large numbers of different types of missiles to the country's Armed Forces and unveil different defense projects in coming days.
He said that the country' latest defense achievements will also go on display in the next few days, including a special space center.
Earlier, the Iranian Defense ministry has inaugurated a facility destined for mass production of a new air-defense system.
The new system, Herz9 (Protector) which has been designed and developed by Iranian experts at the Defense Industries Organization is capable of detecting, identifying and intercepting low-altitude targets through automatic controls.
According to the reports, the system enjoys high mobility and night operation capability and can be connected to the country's integrated air-defense network.
Besides, Iran has unveiled its first domestically developed minesweeping system.
Iran is now among a few countries possessing the technology to defuse and clear naval mines, the Iranian commander said on the sidelines of the ongoing minesweeping drill in the country's southern waters where the new system was launched.
